SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COURSES

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SOFTWARE TESTING

Course Duration: 3 days

Attendees will receive the necessary background and introduction to the basic principles for successful software testing.

This course will take the attendees from their own frame of reference about testing in their everyday living to examples of testing complex software systems in various industries.

At the end of this course, the attendees will understand all testing terms, know all the fundamental principles of testing and will be able to apply the key testing processes e.g. designing high-quality tests, execution of test scenarios, logging of incidents and Incident management. The attendees will understand the importance of test management and the risk to the lack of it.

PRACTICAL TEST ANALYST

Course Duration: 3 days

This course is specifically designed to provide testing resources with sufficient practical experiences that are industry related. The course is structured in such a way that it allows interactive class discussions on real–life testing situations experienced on a day to day basis. The course delegate and the company will benefit from this course, as standard methodologies and artifacts are reviewed and compared with the delegate’s own working environment. Taking this into consideration, the delegate will be sufficiently equipped to improve not only their own but also the company’s operational methodologies, testware and test deliverables.

TESTING FOR BUSINESS ANALYSTS

Course Duration: 2 days

If the Business Analyst compiles a specification document, with a focus on quality, huge cost savings can be achieved during the software development project. Benefits will include, an increase in productivity as well as in development and testing time. This will have a positive impact successfully meeting the project delivery date.

Business Analysts are highly involved in both User Acceptance Testing and System Testing. It is there for imperative that they understand how to apply the effective testing techniques for creating UAT test cases and how to participate in System Testing.

BUSINESS ANALYST & QUALITY

Course Duration: 1 day

here is a global trend of preventing defects rather that finding defects. The benefit of preventing defects is huge cost savings, production improvement of both the developing as well as the testing activities and the successful achievement of project timelines. Quality begins during the inception phase of a project and the Business Analyst plays a very important role in defining high quality requirements for a software product. By defining thorough functional and non–functional requirements by the Business Analyst will prevent misinterpretations and ambiguities later in the development life cycle.

SOFTWARE TEST MANAGEMENT

Course Duration: 2 days

This Test Management Training Course is specifically designed to provide Project Managers, Test Managers, Test Leads or any person that is responsible for Software Testing with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage software testing projects. Attendees will understand the basic concepts of software testing and will know how various development lifecycles affect the approach to software testing. Tips and techniques for efficient communication will be covered as well as critical processes that are imperative for software testing.

The course is structured in such a way that it allows interactive class discussions to discuss real-life test management challenges.

ASTQB MOBILE TESTER

Course Duration: 2 days

Mobile services have grown rapidly over the last years and has become the leading digital platform. Sixty-two percent of digital time comprises of user activities on smartphones and tablets. With this incredible growth in mobile devices and software, mobile testing experts are in demand to test the functionality, usability and consistency.

This course focus on the latest mobile testing standards and is based on the ASTQB Mobile Tester syllabus (body of knowledge) that was created by a team of international mobile software testing experts.

INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION

ISTQB FOUNDATION

Course Duration: 3 days

This course provides test engineers and test managers with the essential ideas, processes, tools and skills they need in order to set themselves on a path for true testing professionalism. This hands–on course covers the major test design techniques with lecture and exercises.

The course provides the methodology behind a successful testing program and covers a wide range of issues, from those related to the individual tester to those related to the testing department as a whole. The testing process is presented, both through theory and hands–on exercises that follow an example project, including the difficult tasks of tracking and presenting tests results. Creation of a test environment and test automation is also covered, along with system development lifecycles and how they affect testing.

ISTQB FOUNDATION

Course Duration: 4 days

Because we customize our services according to our clients' needs we can present the ISTQB Foundation course as a four-day training course. The content of the course is still exactly the same as for the three-day course but with the extra day, the work pace is much more relaxed.

Attendees will learn how agile software development projects are organized, and the various types of agile development practices in common use. They will understand how agile development differs from traditional approaches, how to position testers in an agile organization, the fundamental agile testing principles, practices, and processes, and the skills they'll need to excel in an agile environment.

The attendees will learn ways to estimate and organize testing within agile projects and the application of risk-based testing on agile projects. They'll also gain a basic understanding of the important testing and test-related tools commonly used on agile projects.

IREB CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING

Course Duration: 3 days

In this course, you will learn effective techniques to select the right people from whom you will elicit the requirements. You will learn to document and track these requirements so nothing gets missed. You will learn which team members you must interact with at which stage in the project, and you will learn to track the requirements to completion.
